Funny or Die is a mobile comedy video app that is tailored to fans of the Funny or Die website.

Application Overview

Funny or Die operates as a mobile extension of the highly popular Funny or Die website. The app interfaces with the website, offering users the opportunity to explore and enjoy three distinctive video categories. These categories, labeled as Featured, Popular and Exclusive, provide users access to high quality comedy content on the move. The application features a broad variety of videos, some of which flout celebrities in humorously unexpected roles unlike their typical characters.

Quality of Content

The application boasts good quality audio and video streams. Among the plethora of comedic content available, the app showcases a sizable number of viral videos that have been uploaded and can be viewed on the go. Apart from the in-built categories, users have the advantage of conducting keyword searches to discover additional videos that are housed on the parent Funny or Die website. This key-word search feature adds depth to the browsing experience and ensures that users have more control and variety in their choice of content.

Limitations

While the Funny or Die app shines in terms of content selection and streaming quality, it has a notable limitation. The content on the application is constrained to the three default categories - Featured, Popular and Exclusive. This poses a slight inconvenience for users who wish to view videos that do not fit in these categories, as the app does not provide a straightforward way to search for such content. The 'best of' feel to Funny or Die is appealing to new users, luring them in with its top tier content, but it fails to display a vast amount of videos which are accessible on the website.

Conclusion

Despite the restrictive categorization, Funny or Die holds strong with some of the best comedic content available online. Coupled with easy mobility, the application is highly convenient for individuals looking to enjoy top-notch comedy on the move.
